Biblical stewardship teaches us that whether it is what God entrusts to us, or withholds from us, in all things he desires that we might come to know him, enjoy him, and entrust all of our lives to him.

Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31
If we knew God the Father as Jesus did, we would pray with the confidence that Jesus did. Jesus understood the Father as overflowing with generosity to His children. When we realize this, we see that in prayers both answered and denied, the Father is kind and generous.
God has come to us in the Son–his personal presence to comfort us and give us strength to make it through. In the rush of the season, don’t miss him. Advent is an invitation to perceive. Christmas calls us to look again.

Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7
At Advent, we await the arrival of an unlikely warrior to carry out an unconventional strategy. No darkness is too dark for his light to shine. No yoke or burden is too heavy for him to lift. No oppressor’s rod is too mighty for him to shatter. He has done it before and he will do it again!

Scripture: Isaiah 9:4-5
In the midst of darkness—whether self-inflicted or imposed—the people of God reach for a song. Not in naive denial, as if our pain and troubles weren’t real, but as an act of defiance. We choose to rejoice in the face of hardship and suffering because no matter how hard life in this broken world is, we know the one who is making it new.
